I like how perturbed my avatar looks, like he’s looking at the current state of PrattBoards.
Platform fighter fans (and fans of games featuring anthropomorphic animals,) don’t forget! The Rivals Direct is TOMORROW!
Save the date. This Saturday 1pm ET / 10am PT.

I just realized that maybe the biggest thing I didn’t like about weapon durability in BotW was the existence of named weapons with sentimental value such as the Champions’ signature weapons, which make me scared to use them and clogged up my inventory. I know there’s a place in the game where you can get them replaced, but, if the game purely had random cheap weapons (such as the kinds of things they used in that TotK gameplay,) it’d feel like a lot less of an issue.
Link can now put butter on everything he owns. I have no idea what kind of gameplay advantage that’d grant him, but…
Someone ought to make an Elebits-like game in VR. I think throwing things around with the Capture Gun would feel really good with VR motion controls. It’d also be possible to dual wield Capture Guns.
You’d also be able to open doors with your bare hands instead of needing to use the Capture Gun. That sure would reduce a lot of frustration, ahaha
I wasn’t planning on buying any more games from the 3DS or Wii U eShops, but I recently started playing Picross 3D again and I learned that it has a sequel on 3DS with more complex mechanics that is digital only in NA (Picross 3D Round 2,) so I just bought it.
I watched the downloading animation play through all the way to the end.
Goodbye 3DS eShop.
I’m honestly a bit emotional about it right now…
Here’s a reminder that Sameow is an official Nintendo character
Has anyone devised a fictional universe where being able to do fighting game-esque animation cancels is just a thing that normal people can do and often apply to extremely mundane tasks?
Like, you could cancel pressing a key on your keyboard into grabbing the soda bottle on your desk, or cancel opening a door into dashing out of said door, or cancel sweeping the floor with a broom into sweeping a desk with a brush. Why do stuff the normal way when you can do sick combos?
-Captain Olimar, Hey Pikmin, describing the “Inevitable Tragedy”
(Super Mario Bros NES cart)![]()
To hold us over, it’d be fun if Nintendo got a smaller studio to make some kind of “Mini Smash Bros.” which, kinda like Super Smash Land, has simplified movesets and cute chibi 2D art versions of the characters, and would probably be a cheap eShop only game due to its small budget and scope. It’d be a fun diversion and would have distinct versions of the veterans due to the smaller movesets.
It could be interesting if a future Pikmin game played into the Pikmin 1 bad ending a bit and introduced a captain character who, prior to the events of the game, died on the planet and got resurrected as a Pikmin. They would probably be very knowledgeable about the planet due to being stuck living there permanently, but might also have turned into a Pikmin psychologically as well to some extent.
Useful tip: If you’re planning on buying Tears of the Kingdom digitally and you have NSO, you can use the voucher deal to completely negate the $10 price increase, since it still costs only one $50 voucher.
People complain about the fact that Balan Wonderworld is a “one button game,” but the issue is the lack of depth due to how simple movement and abilities are, not the lack of buttons. Super Monkey Ball is a zero button game, yet it has plenty of depth in its movement.
Balan Wonderworld also isn’t a one button game due to the two switch costume buttons, but, due to the long switching animation, it’s hard to think of them as proper options. If costume switching were instantaneous, your moveset would effectively feel larger. You can test how long it takes for the game to load a costume model via the Wardrobe, and it sure is way faster than the current switching animation (unless it’s super slow on Switch; I’ve only played it on PC.)
Also, I will not defend the fact that the menus are one button. Please assign a button to “back.”
Anyone else remember those old download only PC games where you can try the game for an hour, then play 20 dollars for the full game? Nobody ever seems to talk about any of these games nowadays, and I don’t think most of them are on Steam or anything, so they feel like a bit of a weird fever dream. I think I’ve only ever actually payed for those games 2 times, but I played a whole lot of the demos back in the day.
A rather disappointing thing about Nintendo Switch Sports nowadays is that a lot of the more recent weekly cosmetics they’re releasing are just retextures of previously released ones. I get it, they’ve probably cut down on development a lot, plus it gives people who missed the originals a chance to get something similar (plus some of these recolors have really different vibes from the originals,) but it’s still disappointing.
I’m not sure if I like the dynamic shadows in We Love Katamari Reroll; I think the SSAO in the original game’s Reroll looked better.
Now I can see why they didn’t add dynamic shadows as soon as they could, back when they made a Katamari game on the Xbox 360.
I also asked InferKit to generate a Tears of the Kingdom trailer, although it went in another direction and phrased it as part of an article, since the prompt I used sounds like the start of an article:
I used InferKit to make an AI generated Nintendo Direct while we wait:
If you don’t like chocolate, what are you supposed to pick in the new Splatfest?
Bold of you, Nintendo, to assume that chocolate is a universally liked thing…
When people argue about graphics vs. stylization, people tend to forget that powerful hardware and good optimization can also make for better looking stylized games. Some art styles aren’t even possible on older hardware.
I wonder what it’d be like if they made a new Street Fighter movie where the fight choreography is designed to resemble how it looks in the games as much as possible. So, you’d have people walking back and forth and repeatedly crouching in neutral and performing super low kicks, people vaulting over each other’s heads to preform cross-ups, attacks cancelling into each other on hit, EX moves and supers, etc. But it’d still take place in the “real world” and not in an empty linear stretch of land, so they could incorporate stuff in the environment into the choreography, and have weaker enemies attack from multiple directions. I’d imagine it would be hard for people to take this completely seriously, but it sounds interesting anyway.
In settings with fully anthro animal characters, isn’t the idea of anthro dog characters kinda strange? What kind of genetics would cause them to become dogs instead of wolves? Did they do careful selective breeding to do this to themselves, because they thought it’d be cuter or something? What kind of messed up eugenics would have to happen for certain breeds like anthro pugs to exist?
We all know “build up speed for 12 hours”… aside from the fact that they found a way to do the entirety of Watch for Rolling Rocks in like 5.4 hours five years ago, when are we getting the more recent “perform slow bully battery for 21.4 hours”? Or, if we turn to SM64DS, how come nobody talks about “build up object IDs for hundreds or even over 1,000 years” for the Remote Interaction Glitch?
I see a lot of hype in the Sonic fanbase for the Frontiers free DLC roadmap claiming to be adding more playable characters next year, but… how do we know they’re not just going to be playable in a minigame or something?
It’d be so cool to have multiple playable characters with different movement abilities and attacks running around the Open Zone, but, like… the alt text for the image says “Update 3 will feature new story missions with playable characters.” This wording implies that the new characters could be restricted to the new story missions. Furthermore, the “story missions” could essentially just be minigames (similar to the ones you do during the main story to obtain Chaos Emeralds from Sonic’s friends.)
It’d be nice to be able to just be excited about it, but… yeah.
How to set a devious, inescapable trap for your readers:
- Start writing a comic.
- Halfway through, stop writing the comic, go to the back of the book, and start writing a manga, until you get back to the end of your comic.
I miss Wii-era EA. MySims and Boom Blox were among my favorite franchises at the time.
Did you know that there's an indie Kuru Kuru Kururin spiritual successor on the Switch?
I haven't played a Kururin game other than the bootleg one I made in Dreams on PS4 so it might be fun to buy it eventually.
One thing that I miss about Minecraft being an indie game back in the day is that Steve and other Minecraft content would occasionally appear in other indie games. Nowadays, after the buyout, Minecraft appeared in Smash, and, like... is that it? Is there anything else I missed?
Epic challenge for writers/script writers:
Create a spy book/movie in a universe where "aimbot + autofire" guns exist and all of the common mooks have them, and the protagonist doesn't have super high tech armor or anything like that. Think about it.
To make it even harder, make the guns also have wallhacks.
(Seriously, why don't the bad guys ever think of this? It'd also allow them to avoid the "why don't you just shoot him?!" moment when the hero confronts them directly, by having their gun shoot for them.)
One thing that I notice about online discourse about Nintendo Switch Sports is how many people talk about how it’s a travesty that Miis are just relegated to a side option, and how the Sportsmates are a weird choice to replace them, but… if you’ve played the game a lot, it’s pretty clear that the game’s actual player base really prefers the Sportsmates instead.
Personally, even though I’m a longtime Mii fan, I do think it’s time for a change whenever Nintendo’s next console rolls around. I don’t think Sportsmates are customizable enough to fill that role, but it would be nice to see something fresher and more versatile (but probably not as versatile as Miitopia Switch’s Miis, since that wouldn’t work too well in online multiplayer games.) I can see Nintendo completely abandoning the idea of custom avatars with the next console, though, especially if it continues with the Switch’s “this is just a game console, it plays games, nothing else” vibe.
I’m a Squirrel main in Switch Sports BTW.

Random game idea: Murder mystery game in a world where matter deletion rays are extremely common and barely regulated, are completely silent, and leave behind no evidence of them being fired.
As a result, there is never a corpse nor physical evidence, as it is effortlessly easy to get rid of anything incriminating without leaving a trace. You are thus left to resort to interviewing everyone and figuring out who could have possibly been in the area to commit the crime just based on that. Although, the fact that certain objects are missing from the area could itself be physical evidence.
(There’s also no way to be certain that there was even a murder and the “victim” didn’t just go on vacation without telling anyone. The detective protagonist of this game is certain to be saddled with tons of guilt after making a wrong but unavoidable conclusion…)
One thing that concerns me a bit about the Rayman DLC for Mario + Rabbids is that the trailer says that he is going on an adventure “with the Rabbids” and not “with Mario and the Rabbids,” so, I assume that we actually aren’t getting a Mario and Rayman crossover?
It thus might be completely self-contained and with a fixed cast, like DK Adventure was, based on that. (It looks like the team is Rayman, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Mario, based on the trailer.) It’ll probably still be fun, but it seems like a big missed opportunity, you know?
